The Ada problems with the v3.2 release continue. Although the current HEAD is
not perfect either, it is a huge improvement. Also it seem very unlikely that
the there will be significant improvements to 3.3 Ada before 3.3 is going to
be release.
I propose to try to build a v3.3 pre-release binary that would co-exist
peacefully with 3.2, and release this for Ada users.
Comments ?

There haven't been any significant improvements in Ada for six months,
so I would agree with above.

'co-existence' in same tree may not be worth the hacks, since 3.3 is
scheduled for official release Dec (more likely Jan).. A standalone 3.3
(pre) Ada/C compiler may be enough for now.
Either way, it would be useful.

Then I'll go for the latter.
Yep, I am back. Was I gone ? Yes, the HD in my laptop crashed wednesday.
Getting and installing a replacement took about an hour. Re-installing
windows, software and retrieving the backup until now. Yuck.
